Key word: vocabulary mastery, Karuta Card Game and classroom action
research
Vocabulary is one of language component that has to be mastered by the
language learners, because it is one of indicators to measure the success of
learning language. In fact, people often think that teaching vocabulary needs many
aspects; they are good method, good students’ attitude and good teaching
technique. In fact, many teacher has limited teaching technique. That condition
also happened in SMP N 2 Gebog Kudus. It can be one reason why the students
cannot be active and interest to the lesson. After knowing the problems, the writer
decides to use teaching technique that is Karuta Card Game to improve students
vocabulary mastery.
The objective of this research is to improve the vocabulary mastery of the
VII I students of SMP N 2 Gebog Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 through
Karuta Card Game. The design that is used in this research is Classroom action
research (CAR). It consists of four stages. They are planning, acting, observing
and reflecting. The subject of the research is the seventh grade students of SMP N

test score is 66.2 In the cycle 1 77.7 and in the cycle 2 was increase became 84.8.
Besides, the use of Karuta Card Game can make the students’ and the teacher
activity are improved and the problem that faced by teacher are decreased in every

technique of teaching can improve students’ vocabulary mastery at the seventh
grade students of SMP N 2 Gebog Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014
Considering the process and results of this research, the writer suggests
that the English teacher of Junior High School should be more creative and

Kata Kunci : Penguasaan kosakata, Karuta Card Game, Penelitian Tindakan
Kelas
Kosakata merupakan salah satu komponen bahasa yang harus dikuasai
oleh para pembelajar bahasa, ini di perkirakan sebagai salah satu indicator untuk
memastikan tingkat kesuksesan dalam mempelajari bahasa. Orang sering berfikir
bahwa mengajar kosakata memerlukan beberapa aspek; diantaranya metode yang
bagus, sikap siswa yang bagus dan juga tekhnik pengajaran yang bagus. Sebagai
tambahan, banyak guru yang memiliki keterbatasan dalam teknik mengajar.
Kondisi tersebut juga terjadi di SMP N 2 Gebog Kudus. In menjadi salah satu
alsan kenapa siswa tidak bisa aktif dan tertarik pada pelajaran. Setelah mengetahui
masalah yang ada, penulis berasumsi untuk menggunakan Karuta Card Game
untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa.
Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk meningkatkan penguasaan
kosakata terhadap siswa kelas VII I SMP N 2 Gebog Kudus tahun ajaran
2013/2014 melalui Karuta Card Game. Design yang digunakan pada penelitian ini
adalah penelitian tindakan kelas(Classroom action research). Ini merupakan jenis
penilitian yang dilaksanakn oleh guru di dalam kelas. Yang terdiri dari 4 tahapan,
diantaranya, rencana, penerepan, pengamatan dan releksi. Subjek penelitian
adalah siswa kelas VII SMP N 2 Gebog Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 semester
2.
Hasil test penguasaan kosakata siswa meningkat dari pre siklus, sampai
siklus 2. Pada pre siklus nilai rata rata siswa adalah 66.2. Pada siklus 1 77.7 dan
pada siklus 2 meningkat menjadi 84.8. di samping itu pengunaa Karuta Card
Game bisa membuat aktivitas siswa da guru meningkat dan masalah yang
dihadapi guru bisa di hilangkan pada setiap siklus. Maka dari itu, penulis
menyimpulkan bahwa penggunaan Karuta Card game sebagi tekhnik pengajaran
bisa meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa kleas VII SMP N 2 Gebog Kuds
tahun ajaran 2013/2014.
x
Berdasarkan proses dan hasil dari penelitian tersebut, penulis berasumsi
bahwasanya guru Bahasa Inggris di SMP harus lebih kreatif dan inovatif dalam
memilih metode dan teknik yang sesuai untuk mengajar kosakata. Karuta Card
Game bisa menjadi salag satu teknik untuk mengajar kosakata bahasa Inggris.
Pada kenyataanya Karuta Card Game dapat meningkatkan pengasaan kosakata
bahasa inggris siswa dan menghilangkan tingkat kebosanan siswa dalam kelas.
